Nancy Grace and company won't do it, so I am going to start this post by making you all aware of little Octavius Powell, the 11 year old who has been missing from his Miami (Florida) home since last Friday. He was last seen wearing a red polo shirt and khaki pants. I am keeping my fingers crossed that this little guy will be found, and that he will return to his family as healthy as he was when he left. (h/t to Pamela for hipping me to this story)Inside baseball time: I hear that HuffPo is planning to have a black section for us Negroes. (It's called "Global Black" but I am guessing it will be primarily for Negroes in A-merry-ca.) Nothing attracts more ad. revenue like your very own Negro section. Gotta have a place for those Chrysler 300 and McDonald's commercials. HuffPo will join NBC (The Grio), The Washington Post (The Root), AOL (BlackVoices) on the corporate black bandwagon. Good luck with that Arianna, but you should have checked with me before you picked your partner.

"But I really wanted to bring the real news, the story telling-to really bring back the voice of the black community on some relevant news and views."

You mean kind of like you did with BET?!

Anyway, some folks are already jumping ship. Maybe Arianna should have checked with a lot more folks.

Sticking with the media, I am going to have to rip my man Desmond Howard a little bit. Yo Desmond, what's up with you letting Phil Simms threaten you and then tweeting about it like a big baby to your fans? "Phil Simms just threatened 2 hit me b/c I said his son was 1 of the worst QB's in the SEC" . First of all, Phil, your son does suck! So you might want to get over it. And, as someone said recently, you are in the business of criticizing other people's sons every damn Sunday, so your kid is fair game. BTW, since we are on the subject: your other son sucks , too. Still, this doesn't excuse Desmond Howard's wimpy behavior. He should have told you what I just wrote and let the chips fall where they may.

Finally, I thought I had seen it all from you Negroes, but this one takes the cake. I swear, some of you Negroes need Jesus.

Arianna is making a rush for the 'gold ghetto'. That KFC ain't gonna move itself. Either Black folks get online 'news' from bought out corporate gossip sites or far out screeds. I guess between galvanting the yak-fest circuit with Cornell West and actually managing a newspaper got to be too much for Arianna. Why not get the money when someone's offering ala Bob Johnson.

As for the brother with the, uh, concealment issue -- my only hope was that his package didn't spill over his other package. If passive contact with cocaine could numb Pam Grier, I can only imagine what would happen to this wanna be drug mule. SMDH

FN I am confused, the other day you posted about men standing too close in a bathroom stall which is indicative of your homophobia and heterosexism...but you have the gay from iowa link on your sidebar?

Gays okay as long as they are at a distance?

Does being gay have to automatically mean you check out another mans junk when you are pissing together? I thought being Gay just meant you liked it in the ass or to have a hair pie without whipped cream.

Now where could that poor child be? I hope he is safe. I've always figured if I'm granted a few wishes in this world, the first one would be to have all the missing children return home safely to their families, even if they would be of adult age. Being a parent or loved one of a missing child must be pure mental and emotional agony. There is never any closure.

I can not help thinking about young Octavius since I read about his disappearance online yesterday. There are some nice photos of him on another site.... a lovely young man with a delightful smile. We can all only hope that he is returned safely to his family. My heart goes out to his mom.

"Gotta have a place for those Chrysler 300 and McDonald's commercials".

Ouch.

What you manage to squeeze into a single blog post never ceases to amaze me.

ditto for me. I am going to be the first to post about this outrageous blatant racism on FN.. IN THE BLACK SECTION IN THE HUFFINGTON POST!

I am going to let everyone know that your racism chasing is nothing but a cover up for discrimination. Now I suggest you think about that, Mr. Jamaica.

However, I might reconsider not doing this if you dedicate a post to anons, recognizing and extolling their virtues of kindness, generosity, compassion, honesty and loyalty to FN blog...for we are truely Saints who have come to earth to help some of your FN followers out. God knows they need it!

Field, "Anon. I am my manager. And please tell your president that I have been very disappointed with some of the comments from his people of late. He usually does a better job of policing you people."

I WILL notify my President. I agree, there is no need for the really vile stuff. This is not a porn site."

I WILL notify my President about those anons who are making vile comments. As an agent, I KNOW those filthy mouth anons are not part of Anon, Inc.

Nevertheless, I am sure you will be hearing from President of Anon Inc very soon.

I assumed because you were married that you were second in command. Sorry, my mistake.

i don't know if anyone else is noticing, but every day another child goes missing. female AND male. each time another one goes missing, i think of trafficking. the laws in this country are written such that they provide greater protection for foreigners than for american children. i think the nonstop missing children is the by-product of america's new found fascination with pimping.

i, too, pray this child makes it home safely. his little ears and bright eyes. what a cutie. my heart hurts for this child and his parents. hearing/reading all of these stories, i am amazed when i see folks out in public walking a block in front or behind their children, not paying attention.

Anon, thanks for the love.

oh, LAA, before i forget. this comment:

"Grammar auditor said: "Meanwhile, we have a six-bedroom house in a lovely neighborhood of Victorian style homes, the mortgage is paid-off and we have a substantial stock portfolio."

When? Before or after your children were attending a low academic school in a predominantly black school district? Were you paying taxes in that district?

And did I ever mention(ed) that I own five houses, four cars, two boats, two jets, and a partridge in a pear tree? For real, it's true.

Btw, deh English language land on me, me-aint deh one land on it. So ah can humpity dumpity it all me want. LOL.

Hurry get over me, take it to your local Rabbi in prayer."

had me rolling. now see, i almost feel sorry for the resident racist. emphasis on almost. lol. your ban poll link was hilarious as well.

FN, thanks for addressing the vulgarity of some posters. was that your way of reciprocating some of the love AB shows you by referring so generously to you as "king"? i hope so. i would hate to see you leave her hanging out there sustaining abuse on your blog.

and before another ladyboy says she doesn't need protection, please know that is beside the point. there is something in men that stand up whether needed or not. i have seen it too many times not to know this...

anon2:05am-"RumpledForeskin - that is funny as hell. The daughter could spin crack rocks into gold. But don't you have to know your daddy name before you can spin crack into gold to get him out of debt?"

Her daddy's name is Bill, a white boy who is an alcoholic and a crack head. He's your daddy too. That makes you related to her. Didn't you teach her how to spin the crack into gold or was it your mother who abandoned you early on in life? That's too bad no one wants you. But stick around, you might find some brotha with rumpleskin to love ya.

@anon 0106. Wait until your Black conservative buddies show up? There's such a thing? I mean I got over the Santa Claus thing at 5 maybe you should too.I think I've seen some on tv but I'm sure they were just actors.

FN: "Gotta have a place for those Chrysler 300 and McDonald's commercials."

LOL! Why AOL though? Is this just a money thing? I gave up on AOL a decade ago, because some of their business practices seemed rather shady. (i.e. subscriptions) Just recently gave up on HuffPost and their heavy handed moderators. I swear I've had more posts deleted than get posted. That's why I happly read out in the fields now. hahaha

Hope the wee lad's tale has a happy ending.AOL loved the HuffPo business practice of not paying for labour. Can't get more business-friendly than having happy workers toiling all de live-long day! Who need dat wage when Massa's smile cover ever'ting?I especially like the bush Segregation Plan for businesserating. What wite fratboy thinkerated this one up? Exactly how many AfAms does this person know? Are any allowed in his BillO gated community?

Wasn't it Arianna that had the reporter record Sen. Obama saying "cling close to their guns and God?" He was in a room with half of it millionaires and half of them regular workers. He was trying as delicately as possible white bigots.No thanks Arianna, we already have a "Fox Nation" blog, why support another one?

i hope the child is found. far too many children are missing in this country, and i don't want to talk about the reason why some of the go missing this early in the morning.

i never read HuffPo. loads too slowly, the writing is second grade, and i don't care about the celebrity stuff. i know a bunch of people who write for them, and there is an ongoing discussion among them about the pay issue, who will get paid, who hasn't been, why people write for them for free, etc. i never understood why, in the midst of the early heyday of blogging, when there were literally hundreds of excellent non commercial political blogs, HuffPo went from zero to sixty and became a popular blog. Arianna isn't that impressive (she was married to a gay man for years, for crying out loud) and i don't care to mix my celebrity news with political, thanks.

the more important discussion, imho, is about the way our entire economy is one big ponzi scheme in which no one cares about product so much as making the next big thing they can then cash out. someone please explain to me why HuffPo is "worth" 300M? it makes nothing, does nothing, and only employs a tiny number of people. yet in our fucked up system, powerful rich people believe it's worth that much. our system is totally fucked up. a factory with equipment and a building and technology is worth millions, not a fluff blog.

and before another ladyboy says she doesn't need protection, please know that is beside the point. there is something in men that stand up whether needed or not. i have seen it too many times not to know this...

Uh Focused, hon..I know it has been awhile, but that thing that stands up..err... it's called an erection

"and before another ladyboy says she doesn't need protection, please know that is beside the point. there is something in men that stand up whether needed or not. i have seen it too many times not to know this..."

You really are nuts, aren't you?

How the hell can you expect to gain support from people you regularly attack?

You actually giggled at the cowardice of the anon who posted my personal info.

FP, you are on to something! I refuse to believe half of the missing children are dead. If they aren't dead after being sexually assaulted and tortured, or victims of body organ trafficking. They are alive and being exploited underground for other heinousness.

But of course, undocumented illegal immigrants/criminals are priority. It's like watching a mother hen invite wolves into her coop (I'll leave that alone for now). It's all too unbearable to even think about, it breaks my heart.

Sis, I can't tell you enough how I appreciate being in your intellectual like-minded company. I truly enjoy you, AB, the wise bm anony, Field, and many others on this blog. And of course the comic relief, along with the usual stand up comedians. LOL.

Disclaimer: There was no proof reading of this comment post. Thank you.

But shoot, as long as the octogenarian wasn't one of those urban street pirates, or those odd-job baby daddies. He's likely to have a pension plan, health insurance, a paid home, and a clean criminal record.

If the FakeAnon had courage, they would 'out' their own self. Instead, they take the anti-brains stance of placing other's personal data in view. Typical. Planned Parenthood lists their budget. Ever see budgets for the churches...or the orgs? Such brave, heroic people...placing doctors and their families at risk...for doing legal procedures. Illegals are a problem. When you have 'Mexican' communities in Minnesota...not New Mexico...there is more than what you beleeverate.

"Sure you do. And FP has her pick of the white guys... You sistas change the conversation as we go along."

Ok Steve, you got me. He's only half boricua, the other half is Dominican. There.

And just because some of us black women are in healthy loving relationships with men/women, doesn't mean we are blind to the ill treatment and social discrimination that so many single black women still face. Especially when they insist on finding it within the black community.

We are not like you, who live in a suburban "gated community" and think most black people/families in America could say the same. You often seem ashamed, or choose to be in denial when it's time to acknowledge how many black people still struggle economically in America as compared to others. Shame.

AB, thanks for sharing. That's why I didn't blame that white father either, racist or not, he had a right and obligation to protect his minor daughter regardless of who's race. I would extend the same regards to a black father. That is what "fathers" should DO.

"And just because some of us black women are in healthy loving relationships with men/women, doesn't mean we are blind to the ill treatment and social discrimination that so many single black women still face. Especially when they insist on finding it within the black community."

Sorry, I'm not buying it. Usually women who sound like you 3 are mad at the world because nobody wants you and instead of looking at yourself to realize why, you surmise that black men are animals. Or only chase after light/white women. Or whatever other rationalization you can fit into your neat little box.

As for recognition of ill treatment and discrimination against black folks, I doubt if few are more aware than myself. However you bw are labeling bm as your oppressors and that's nonsense.

When one of you are strong and honest enought to admit that bw can be abusive, manipulative and as cruel as you portray most bm to be, maybe we can start to talk honestly and productively.

"You often seem ashamed, or choose to be in denial when it's time to acknowledge how many black people still struggle economically in America as compared to others. Shame."

More garbage. I grew up in the hood and am more than aware of the struggle many black people face. However the hood is not the FACE of black America which people like you seem to want to believe.

lac: u dig at and hate on cornel west incessantly. and u love hobama. which man loves YOU???? proof that blacks are demented masochists...shame!!! why?????????????? http://aliciabanks.xanga.com DR. CORNEL WEST IS MY HERO

OK, AB. Whatever. The point was that Huff makes her bank on the talk circuit, much like Cornell West. And now with the sell of Huff Post, Arianna Huffington can focus on the lecture circuit. You offer me 300M for my blog, I'm gonna pounce on that pile of cash. This isn't a knock or a rip, its a statement of reality.

And to your whole "Because I criticize Cornell West (which I didn't) I must have some sort of homo-eroticism with the President" shtick is getting really old. And its completely illogical.

I regards West, Huffington, Maher, O'Reilly, Maddow, Beck, Amy Goodman, Nader, Rush Limbaugh, Keith Olbermann and others in the same soup of well paid squawkers. Whether we agree with their POV or not isn't all that relevant -- they're paid to debate. Win or lose, they're gonna take their 6+ figure salaries and chill.

As Chris Rock famously said, we had Martin, Malcolm and Medgar in the 60's. Now we have a bunch of substitutes.

The real movements are folks doing change in their own backyard everyday. In the end, it doesn't really matter what these people do with their money. Real change comes from sweat equity and putting your money where you mouth is. Whether that's protesting in the streets (which needs to be more focused and discipline on the left, but that's another story), working on political campaigns (I would say we do this a little too blindly, ala Obama, but again another story) or just tutoring kids -- the country isn't going to change until everyday people commit to changing it.

We'll never have a revolution so long a we obsess with what these rich people (and their paid off mouthpieces) do or say.

“You are in a tough situation, I understand that… but if you cannot keep alive the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. and Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel and Myles Horton and Dorothy Day and Cesar Chavez, in the states, and connect it to the empowerment of those Frantz Fanon called the wretched of the earth, you will end up just another colorful caretaker of an empire in decline, and a culture in decay.”

These are harsh words from West, but words that many progressives have been echoing for months. Today, with a year of political turmoil at his back, 2010 can potentially define or destroy Obama. Republicans have proven they have no plans of working with him. If anything, they seem to be following a rule that mandates opposition at every front. So why is Obama still governing as if we, as a country, are in an era of post-partisan politics? And to make matters worse, his own party, the ever-useless Democrats, have shown their absolute inability to be effective leaders. In his address last week, Obama expressed his frustration with both sides. But, as always, his actions, or lack thereof, will truly determine how badly he wants to “fix Washington.”

West, in his critique, ends with a message that is by no means novel, but worth repeating:

“I believe, like Martin King, that democracy can be reinvigorated, revitalized, but it takes courage. You can’t just cut deals, you have to take a stand, you have to have backbone.”

only the very worst kind of fool would dare argue that cornel west is an elitist and hobama is a saint

shame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I said, here's somebody who has no history whatsoever of sensitivity to poor people or working people, who had been supporting deregulation for a long time as a Clintonite, in the Clinton administration. What is going on here? Or has Obama already become so comfortable with the establishment that you had to have an economist who was legitimate to the establishment in order for him to get his regime off the ground? OK. I mean, if that's the kind of argument you have, then put it forward. But don't tell me you're a progressive, then, and generate that kind of support or major advisers speaking to you--speaking to you every day. Now, if he had Paul Krugman or Joseph Stiglitz or Sylvia Ann Hewitt, I'd say, "Hey, you got something going here. I think we've got a chance for some progressive policy that actually focuses on poor and working people."

Again, read slowly and clearly, Alicia. Take a breathe and think before you type. We would respect you more on this board if your post weren't endless insult laden tirades of rage. We would also respect you more if you were consistent and factual.

And lets not go into a competition of 'character' - we don't know each other well enough to judge the others integrity.

what u said is that cornel is an elitist as u bash him ONLY because he calls out that elitist hobama! shame x 5!!!!!

Actually, chuckles, I'm calling him an "elitist" because he's a well paid author and lecturer appears on the same hipster elitist talking circuit as everyone else, No different than Jesse Jackson Jr. or Ann Coulter.

I'll say it again, think before you type -- you're making ridiculous leaps in logic and that fall apart once you carefully parse what I said.

u sleeping hobama nazis are snoring and breathing MORE than enough for all of us!!!

respect begets respect.

you have no respect for yourself that is the ONLY way you and any other poor black racist fool can adore hobama!!!!!!!

why should i care/respect u????

i know u well enough to know that you are a liar and a fool.

that is enough for me!!!

Obama And The Global EliteThis documentary exposes the truth behind Obama and the story of the people who control him and every other president we have had in the past 100 years. You will see that Obama, like Bush before him is a walking contradiction that is used to push the Council on Foreign Relations agenda that is nothing less than a global goverment. Do your own research, factcheck this documentary, and please download this before internet 2 is in place.

Elitist != Enemy, Alicia. The founding fathers were the elites of their day, as was MLK and to a certain degree Malcolm X (educated clergymen with the Black community). Frederick Douglass, Prince Hall, Richard Allen, James Varick, A. Philip Randolph and WEB Du Bois were all great freedom fighters, but they were also elites of their day -- educated middle to upper middle class blacks.

Its not a good or bad things, its to realize that these people aren't Jesus or Superman.

But nuance and subtle points aren't your forte, Alicia. You have the all the nuance of a buzz saw in a spinal surgery.

Who the hell does Barack Obama, this morally preening, arrogant hypocrite, think he is? His vacuous, demagogic shtick about helping the "people" fight "the powerful" is getting so old from his lips, and already was so hackneyed even before he expropriated it, that it's a miracle that even he himself can say it anymore without getting nauseated by his own oleaginous triteness.

Barack Obama posing as the representative of the people against the powerful is like Tiger Woods feigning virginity while crusading against promiscuity.

Obama is an elitist -- he's an Ivy League educated law professor and establishment politician. How is he not an elite by definition? How could you describe him as otherwise?

Historical dodge? Nah, girl, its more like broadening scope and give complete and nuanced answers. Elite isn't a bad word -- most people should strive to be in the elite. How elites use their abilities and influences is the real issue, on that we agree Obama falls short more often than not.

The difference between you and I is that I don't see Obama is such a great evil compared to his predecessors while you see him as the first sign of the Apocalypse because he isn't following some quasi-radical agenda.

And because that gulf can't be cross - we'll always but heads.

Again, think before you post and stop putting up ridiculous straw men.

and the evasive bs lies about hobama as superman...especially since he is too elitist and spineless to even be robin/lois lane!!!

find a new lie!!!

Reed continues his scurrilously- Fox News like -attacks against progressives who speak truth to power, by misleading whites liberals and Blacks folks into thinking that progressives want Obama to sport a black beret, sunglasses, and throw a black leather gloved first in the air on national TV. What we have been saying over and over again, is that President Obama should use the elegant rhetoric that got him elected President, to honestly explain to America how the disparity between rich and power in our country is now equal to Great Depression era levels and how one percent of the population controls 40 percent of the wealth while the rich are demanding more! But I guess the best we can do is allow President Obama to waste away his Presidency by continuing to be the night watchmen of the plutocrats who sank The United State’s of America into the icy sea, while they speed off ( with all the money) aboard a luxurious yacht purchased from The United State’s Treasury.

Ummm...AB shows signs of mental illness. As 'sanity' is a continuum, 'she' may be quite functional in society. However, the obsession with Obama, the excessive rants, and the constant desire to turn others to 'her' way of seeing the Universe strongly indicate a need for Psychiatric intervention.AB, you need some help. You should seek it out before it engulfs you.

Loved the posts on elites. Somehow the Palinists pretend that elite talent and behaviours (like the ability to dance) are eveel. Funny, the Founding White Dudes were very much the colonial elite. Most pro athletes are elite. I would hate to live in a world where the winner was the putz with no gifts who really, really, really wanted to win...did so because they were appointed or there was cheating.Yes, Malcom and MLK are elite. As is Obama.

A section of Black America has lost their minds – literally – unable to make contact with reality since November 2008. Despite the horrific and disproportionate damage suffered by Blacks in the Great Recession, a psychologically impaired group of African Americans believes they are better off than before the recession began, and that the future is bright. When Obama entered, their powers of reason exited

When debating Black supporters of President Obama, there often comes a point where even the most fervent Obamites can find no coherent defense for the president’s pro-Wall Street and militaristic policies, when his refusal to even consider race-targeted solutions to race-based problems becomes simply indefensible. Typically, at that point, the Obama supporter will play the psychological card. The advent of the First Black President, they say, has been of incalculable psychological benefit to Black people, especially to Black children, who can now project themselves into an infinity of possibilities because a Black family is in the White House. Hallelujah!

The insanity is documented in the Pew Research Center’s recent report, “How the Great Recession Has Changed Life in America,” which shows that Black America, the group that has been the most damaged, by far, in the Great Recession, is also the most enthusiastic about the state of the economy. Twenty-five percent of Blacks tell pollsters that the economy is doing good or excellent; that’s almost twice as high as the number of whites that think so – even though Black unemployment is about twice that of whites. Eighty-one percent of Blacks say America is still a land of prosperity, while only 59 percent of whites think that way, even though Blacks make only 61 cents for every white dollar earned, the same as 30 years ago.

Too bad Blogspot doesn't have an ignore function. I get tired of scrolling past banksy's nonsense! There are many prolific posters around her; it is a shame we have to navigate past the resident troll's garbage to find them!

aint that the truf the godawnest truf! sheeeit! that piecea troll droppings has polluted this blog worse then any anon commentators cuz at least we have fun shes just a gottdamm pest!

Ever read "Letter" by MLK? Ever read MalcolmX's own works?Funny, the onliest folks who say that MLK and Malcolm ain't all that...are wites. They go up and down all day reminding us that MLK was human...and Malcolm had faults. Well, duh. Gandhi was pretty -poo- to his female kin. Washington married for money and helped start a war to increase the value of his investments. Grant drank. FDR had a mistress. Lincoln though AfAms could never be his equal.AB, your writing is not that of a professional AfAm woman. It is more the style of a much younger person. It also has elements of mental illness....the repetition...the statements of paranoia...the obsession with Obama...it is time to seek help if you are who you portray on this blog.I do agree that Obama should be more Progressive/Liberal. He could, like the Swedes, have nationalized the banks. The only pain there would have been the poor banksters who would now have to suffer at 300K/yr.

lol @ the foolish Anon and uts. IF you silly folks would think about something other than your sex organs, the embaressing state of the black collective just might change for the better.

i am not quite sure why you folks are pretending sex or romance is hard to come by. maybe you are projecting the reality of your pitiful little worlds? shrug.

and yes uts, i did LOL @ folks blasting your silly behind. like the true yellow bellied coward you are, you have YET to stand up, like a man and insist they leave YOUR WIFE out of it. so dude, since it is clear you won't ever bother to stand up, like a man and protect the wife that carries you-TRUST when i tell you that i am not holding my breath for you to man up any time soon. you and the rest of your faux man friends, think your "manhood" is in your pants. it is for this reason real men and women find you a pitiful joke unworthy of any real respect. again i LOL at you!

"AB, your writing is not that of a professional AfAm woman. It is more the style of a much younger person. It also has elements of mental illness....the repetition...the statements of paranoia...the obsession with Obama...it is time to seek help if you are who you portray on this blog."

WHY are folks acting like dating/mating/marriage is difficult? folks REALLY must turn off their televisions. there is NOTHING preventing folks from having quality companionship except for the foolish notion that they MUST be with a bm. i have NEVER suffered from such silliness. encountering the average bm it is I that suggests that they consider interracial dating. lol. you have never seen a priceless expression until you behold one of those cracked rejected faces.

thank ya'll for having my back though. do know that i am not the least bit offended when folks hold their genitals and act as if THAT is what makes them men. they are only demonstrating PRECISELY what is wrong with the black collective. those bw that do know our worth, esteem ourselves, etc. are ridiculed, taunted, and accused of being lonely. LOL. i took uts' indignant, hysterical, overly emotional "who do you think you are?" a few threads back as the ultimate compliment.

those that come to my table with only a penis to offer, do go away fast. because i send them away with the quickness. nature has endowed and empowered me to know that I am the one doing the picking and choosing. just because the average bm acts like a woman doesn't change this truth. woe be to the young women and girls that don't know this truth.

these clowns are correct. i DON'T bother soiling my mind's eye, much less my temple with pitiful over used erections. take that on somewhere else. stop at the clinic/doctor before you get there please. some of those prostate problems and other health crises could be remedied if folks would get those infected erections checked and use their brains half as much as they want to use their penises.

LAA, i am starting to think black children are the throw away children. there will be a news story, if that, then it is business as usual. predators know this already. black women and children are targeted. daily i read of horrors sustained by black children and KNOW tomorrow is going to be a MESS. folks will act all brand new when these folks as adults are doing equally or more heinous mess. permanent underclass is pretty much here already. while these fools are playing like i am talking about their penises, when i am REALLY speaking about their collective refusal to PROTECT and PROVIDE FOR women and children. you know that stuff MEN do in order to be respected as men. they can play all they want on the internet. offline, leering, lewd, crotch holding, useless males get the police called on them with the quickness. let the police get them together. a few whacks to the empty dome don't offend me either. lol.

the sexist, emasculated, sexually frustrated lady boys are out in droves today i see.

AB, sis, i understand you are not down with traditional gender roles. i am. when i encounter pitiful, poorly socialized males and it becomes clear there are no quality men to regulate...i peace out as dictated by wisdom. MEN regulate the behavior of other men. males that don't know how to behave in the presence of ladies are shunned in my world. i DESPISE thugs and knuckleheads.

thank ya'll for having my back though....i am not the least bit offended when folks hold their genitals...those that come to my table with only a penis to offer...i DON'T bother soiling my mind's eye, much less my temple with pitiful over used erections...if folks would get those infected erections checked and use their brains half as much as they want to use their penises.

Something is on FP's mind..hmmm....what could it be?... I've got it - PENIS!

Then why are you on constantly railing about black women being unmarried????

"there is NOTHING preventing folks from having quality companionship except for the foolish notion that they MUST be with a bm."

Well then if it's so easy why don't we see it being done? You can talk this noise all you like but if you had all these options you'd be exercising them instead of demonizing the only men who would realistically be paying attention to you?

"i have NEVER suffered from such silliness."

Puh-leeze.

You obviously suffer from a myriad of silliness but, believe me, being overly picky in choosing mates isn't one of them.

"Real talk: Daniel Rubin has a great little piece up wherein he chats with The Field Negro, the Philly-based blogger who sharply ponders all things black on a daily basis. (Seriously, if you’ve never checked in with TFN, you should: Its author, Wayne Bennett, is a fantastic read who can cut through bullshit like a hot knife through butter, which is a far grosser analogy than I wanted to make, but there you have it.)" ~Philebrity~

"One of the most precocious and hilarious Black political minds on the net. Ive been a long-time fan!" ~Asad Malik~

"..While most of what he writes is tongue-in-cheek, his space is a safe house for candid discussions about race, especially in the comments section, where people of all colors meet."~~Daniel Rubin, "The Philadelphia Inquirer"~~

"To white people, Bennett's musings are like kitchen-table talk from a kitchen they may otherwise never set foot in. To African Americans, he is part of a growing army of black Internet amateurs who have taken up the work once reserved for ministers and professional activists: the work of setting a black agenda, shaping black opinion and calling attention to the state of the nation's racial affairs."

~~Richard Fausset, "L.A. Times"~~~

"That's why I love the blog "Field Negro" so much. Field, as he's known to his fans, has the sense of reality that it takes to call out the (CowPuckey) of blame beating by those who are in positions of power and their lackeys. Because of his handle and his unabashed way of writing about racial issues, Field is often cited as a "Black blogger." What he is, however, is a first-class detector of blame deflection and an excellent student of history. If you want to write about the past and future of repression there's really no other perspective to take - which is why everyone should read Field."

FIELD NEGRO OF THE DAY.

(Magic) MAKING 100 MILLION DOLLARS AVAILABLE IN LOANS TO SMALL MINORITY OWNED BUSINESSES DURING THIS CRISIS IS FNB.

"Half a century after Little Rock, the Montgomery bus boycott and the tumultuous dawn of the modern civil rights era, the new face of the movement is Facebook, MySpace and some 150 black blogs united in an Internet alliance they call theAfroSpear.

Older, familiar leaders such as Rev. Jesse Jackson, Rev. Al Sharpton and NAACP Chairman Julian Bond, are under challenge by a younger generation of bloggers known by such provocative screen names as Field Negro, thefreeslaveand African American Political Pundit. And many of the newest struggles are being waged online."~Howard Witt-The Chicago Tribune~

"I had no idea, for example, of the extent of the African-American blogging world out there and its collective powers of dissemination.But now, after reading thousands of anguished, thoughtful comments posted on these blogs reflecting on issues of persistent racial discrimination in the nation's schools and courtrooms, what's clear to me is that there's a new, "virtual" civil rights movement out there on the Internet that can reach more people in a few hours than all the protest marches, sit-ins and boycotts of the 1950s and 60s put together." ~Chicago Tribune Reporter, Howard Witt~
